In this best-selling, award-winning book, Drs. Cloud and
Townsend introduce eight persuasive principles that demonstrate how God enters
both the heart-breaking situation and the life looking for more.

Life is difficult. Life for every
person on earth is a challenging journey – with or without God. Those who
invite God to join them on this adventure believe that when bad things happen
they can trust God to be present and work on their behalf. But just exactly how does He go about the
business of helping us when we don’t know what to do? Henry Cloud and John Townsend believe God has
given us instructions on how He makes a way for us when we call on Him. If you follow God’s eight principles in this
book, you can thrive relationally, emotionally, and spiritually.

As clinical psychologists, the
authors deal daily with real people facing real problems, so this book is not
just psychological or biblical theory.
It is a life system that captures God’s wisdom for coping with our most
difficult problems.
